Chapter 6 Nursing Toolbox: The Pregnant Tiger (Revised)

Gu Yiliu nodded; she did not doubt the sincerity of his words at that moment.

However, she said, "Let's just forget about what happened that night, because I really have no recollection of it." Gu Yiliu even wanted to tell him the truth, but it was obviously impossible. "I don't need you to take responsibility."

Her answer was exactly what Han Yi expected. Han Yi looked into her eyes; they were beautiful. At that moment, he simply nodded silently.

Gu Yiliu avoided his gaze; his eyes were too deep, and she felt that he could see right through her.

She could have easily avoided saying "you don't have to take responsibility," but she wasn't the original owner of this body! Besides, she wasn't sure about Han Yi's attitude.

Gu Yiliu thought to herself that Han Yi probably already thought she was stupid. She got his promise, but then went against him; wasn't that just asking to annoy him?

When Han Yi heard this, he did think she was a bit naive in her bluntness. If it were any other girl, she would definitely have turned the tables and used those words to manipulate the man to achieve her own goals.

Thinking back to her in school, she was a slow-witted girl who didn't understand social etiquette. In comparison, she seems much more clever now.

Seeing her avoidance of gaze, Han Yi looked straight ahead and asked her, "Which unit have you been assigned to? I wonder if I could know that?"

Of course. "Hongbuya Outpost."

Han Yi: "My maternal grandmother is from Dongshan County. I came here to work in order to take care of her."

Gu Yiliu nodded. Both of them understood that Han Yi was explaining. Gu Yiliu unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't here for the original owner of the body, that was good. Otherwise, she really wouldn't know how to handle these things while using the original owner's body. "Then I'll be going now." Gu Yiliu practically ran away.

Han Yi watched quietly as her fleeing figure disappeared into the distance.

Once they were out of Han Yi's sight, Gu Yiliu's smile immediately crumbled.

She hurriedly bought rice, flour, and cooking oil. The prices weren't cheap, and she didn't bother comparing prices at different stores. Once she had chosen what she needed, she paid. She only had about two yuan left from the small change her parents had sent her, and buying rice and flour used up most of that money. She saved the rest for her bus fare. After buying her things, she met up with Min Songyue and returned to the outpost.

"Why do you look so pale? What happened?" Min Songyue asked.

Gu Yiliu didn't need to tell him. He fed the three chickens some feed and then went back to his room.

She found her luggage and pulled out a photo album. She had flipped through a page or two of this album when she packed her bags to leave school, and seeing that most of the photos were of herself, she put it in her luggage.

From Han Yi's words, she deduced that the two were from the same school, and might even be classmates.

The album was mostly filled with group photos, all of her with other female classmates. Remembering her impoverished background, Gu Yiliu figured these photos must have been given to her by those girls when they were developing their photos.

After flipping through most of the photo album, I finally saw Han Yi.

He's in the class group photo. His face matches, and his name matches too.

We were classmates! And now we're still in the same place.

Gu Yiliu sighed. Never mind, he had already made it very clear that they would treat each other as ordinary classmates in the future.

Gu Yiliu put the photo album away, then summoned the system, "DianDian, I want to participate in the lottery!"

The system came out quickly.

Gu Yiliu made a wish to Dian Dian: "I need food, both rice and flour, enough for me to eat for a month." She bought 5 jin each of rice and flour, which was originally a month's supply. After deducting the food rations for Ma Quan, it would last about 20 days.

"..."

The turntable stopped, and a metal box appeared on it.

"What is this?" It certainly wasn't the rice and flour she wanted. Gu Yiliu muttered to herself as she picked up the box.

She was stunned when she opened it.

This is a disinfection and care tool kit.

The box contained scissors, tourniquets, sterile cotton balls, tweezers, a pack of sterile gloves, and non-woven gauze.

This is a set of commonly used nursing tools.

"Why are you giving me this?" Gu Yiliu asked Diandian.

The system replied with the same message: "DianDian doesn't know."

"...Remember to give me some food next time!"

Dian Dian: "But host, you'll get paid on the 10th of next month, and you can buy food with the money."

"Garbage system!" Gu Yiliu cursed. "Besides making me do your work, you're completely useless! Even the rewards are just to help you complete tasks!"

After a long silence, Dian Dian finally spoke: "...I'm sorry."

Gu Yiliu calmed down. She shouldn't have cursed the system, but what she said was true, so she didn't apologize.

They hadn't spoken to each other for several days, and Gu Yiliu didn't think they were having a cold war, but she hadn't spoken to Dian Dian either.

They continued patrolling the mountain until this day.

It's been raining heavily in the mountains for the past few days, so the patrol was suspended for three days. Today the sun finally came out, and Ma Quan said we could go into the mountains to take a look. After the rain, bamboo shoots usually sprout up, and they're very tender and delicious. They can also be dried and stored for a long time.

So he suggested that they dig bamboo shoots while patrolling the mountains. "The villagers at the foot of the mountain usually go into the mountains to dig bamboo shoots after it rains, and then take them to the county town to sell to city people while they are still fresh. They sell very well."

Gu Yiliu's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. These bamboo shoots are great! She could prepare more, whether for herself or to sell to others.

Gu Yiliu was the first to respond, and even took two extra bags to pack the bamboo shoots.

The mountain paths are very slippery and rugged, and it's easy to slip and fall after just a few steps.

Gu Yiliu enjoyed digging bamboo shoots very much; of the three of them, she dug the most, filling two large bags by herself.

"How are you so good at finding things!" Min Songyue said, increasingly impressed.

Gu Yiliu smiled but didn't say anything; her skills were all honed during the apocalypse.

"We've dug enough, and it's getting late, let's go down the mountain," Ma Quan said, having dug quite a bit himself.

Gu Yiliu nodded. They were now in a dense forest, the light was dim, but it was clear that it was getting late.

Gu Yiliu already has experience; it should be a little after 3 pm now.

As the three were walking out, they heard a scream coming from the woods. The scream was so shrill and terrifying that it startled many birds in the trees.

"Host, there are tigers in the forest behind you, two tigers. They will come out soon, you should hide!" After three days of silence, the system finally reappeared.

At the same time, someone ran out of the woods.

"Tiger! Tiger! There's a tiger! Run!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tiger rammed into him from behind.

Gu Yiliu turned his head and saw the scene of someone being knocked away, his pupils shrinking. A huge tiger was roaring with its mouth wide open, its muscles tense, its amber round eyes staring ahead, meeting Gu Yiliu's gaze.

As soon as they met, Gu Yiliu heard it hissing and growling as it began to walk towards her.

Gu Yiliu thought it sounded like the tiger was crying in pain. But with danger looming, she couldn't worry about that now.

"Quick, climb the tree first!" Ma Quan shouted, dropping the bag in his hand without hesitation and climbing the nearest tree with both hands and feet, quickly ascending upwards.

Gu Yiliu followed suit, and when he looked back, he saw that Min Songyue hadn't made a move yet, so he couldn't help but shout.

"Want to die?! Get up!"

Min Songyue only reacted when he heard the cursing. He glanced at the villager who had been knocked aside by the tiger. The villager had crashed into a tree and was curled up in pain.

He started climbing the tree with a pale face, his hands and feet trembling as he climbed.

When he was halfway up the tree, another tiger rushed out of the forest and ran straight toward the first tiger that had come out.

This was a larger, more robust tiger. The two tigers roared at each other and bit each other's necks as soon as they got close.

As Gu Yiliu listened to their argument, he couldn't help but look at the belly of the tiger that had come out first.

“The larger one is the male tiger, and the smaller one is the female tiger. The male tiger is probably courting,” Ma Quan said. “We can only get down from the tree after they leave.”

Gu Yiliu: "Uncle Ma, look at the smaller tiger's belly, it looks like it's pregnant."

The two tigers were arguing; it was mostly the female tiger yelling while the male tiger was trying to soothe her.

The tigress: "My stomach hurts so much! Go find her quickly!"

Tiger: "I'll go find it right now! I'll go find it right now!"

"It hurts so much, hurry and find it!"

"It hurts so much!"

The male tiger bit the female tiger's neck. "Don't rush!"

The next second, he was slapped by the tigress's paw.

He opened his blood-red mouth and cursed, "What use are you?! You don't even know who she is! You don't even know what she looks like! I'm not even dead yet, but your brat is about to die!"

A bloody gash appeared below the tiger's eye, and the tiger roared in pain as it looked up.

The woods became even quieter.

"That green-feathered bird said she was a woman, very beautiful. If she's so beautiful, someone must remember her," the male tiger roared irritably.

Its violent and ferocious nature made it want to bite someone and taste blood. It turned its head to look at the person lying on the ground and slowly approached him.

The tigress lay sprawled on the ground in pain, panting heavily. "A beautiful woman? I just saw a beautiful woman." She knew less than the male tiger.

The tigress looked around and then met the eyes of Gu Yiliu in the tree.

Gu Yiliu looked at it, and a thought struck him.

"Spotty, are they looking for me?"

"Host, a pregnant tigress is asking for help."

Her voice and Dian Dian's voice rang out at the same time.

"Let me greet them first," Gu Yiliu said after receiving the report, watching the male tiger approach the tree where she was, prompted by the female tiger.

"I know the tigress is about to give birth, and I can help her deliver! But you have to listen to me."

Ma Quan hissed, "Xiao Gu, don't speak!"

Upon hearing "Little Gu," the tiger's eyes lit up. "You're the Officer Gu that the green sparrow was talking about?"

It roared again, "Officer Gu, please help the female tiger give birth."

"I can help, but my surgical instruments aren't here. Can you have my partner go back and get them? Just say so if you agree."

"Roar!" Okay!

“Uncle Ma, you guys go back first. This tiger won’t hurt you. It wants me to help the female tiger give birth. When you get back, go to my room and get the iron box on the table. It contains scissors and gauze.”

Ma Quan stared at her in shock, “This…”

Gu Yiliu knew he didn't believe him, so he looked at the male tiger pacing anxiously under the tree and said to it, "Go back to the female tiger's side, sit down and don't move."

The male tiger let out a low growl and, to the astonishment of Ma Quan and the others, retreated to the female tiger's side and began licking her fur.

Gu Yiliu quickly climbed down the tree before Ma Quan could stop her. She told Ma Quan to come down too, "Uncle Ma, hurry down the mountain now and take that fellow villager with you. Then bring my toolbox."

After hesitating for a long time, Ma Quan finally climbed down from the tree. He carefully walked to the injured villager's side and carried him up on his back.

Xiong Hu didn't even look at these actions. Ma Quan knew he could really walk. He looked at Gu Yiliu, then at the two tigers, and said, "I'll go back and get you the toolbox. I'll also call the police and bring the others with me."

After saying that, he called to Min Songyue and led the villagers down the mountain.

Xiong Hu looked at Gu Yiliu and urged him anxiously.

"Officer Gu..."

After Gu Yiliu used his special ability to protect himself, he stepped forward.

Meanwhile, Ma Quan and Min Songyue, after taking their fellow villager to the hospital, called the police, summoned a veterinarian and a doctor, and gathered a large group of people before heading up the mountain. Of course, before going up, they didn't forget to take Gu Yiliu's toolbox.

When I returned to the spot on the mountain where the tigers were found, I saw a girl sitting between two tigers, seemingly exchanging words with them.
